Essentially this is the Lindamood Bell approach. This integrated approach serves to satisfy different learning styles. Both are definitely critical in acquiring necessary English language skills. Since 85% of English obeys rules, there still remains 15% to be memorized. These are the "learned" words. What's emerging from this discussion is that we're seeing all varieties and groping to find what works best for the individual student. So we're back again to individualizing our teaching to match needs of the student.

Andrea, Could you point me in the direction of some of the research supporting the "single route" theory? I am familiar with the Schaywitz, , Torgeson, et al variety, as well as Wolfe, who introduces the "timing" piece. I have read some about the "whole word formation" areas of the brain; ..is this what you mean by "single route" ? On Apr 13, 2005, at 5:55 AM, AWilder106@aol.com wrote: > Terrific point.
